14、es, LLC Page 3 of 4 4. GENERAL INFORMATION The information given below is provided for clarification and assistance in meeting the requirements of this specification 4.1 THERMAL RESPONSE The mechanical properties listed previously are to be obtained from parts produced according to the approved Cont

15、rol Plan. The finish forging temperature and cooling cycle have a strong influence on mechanical properties of a part. The cooling cycle also has an effect on machinability. Faster cooling from forging temperature to room temperature will tend to degrade the machinability. The finish forging tempera

16、ture and cooling cycle should therefore be included in the Control Plan. Changes in either finish forging temperature or cooling cycle made after the start of series production should be reviewed with Engineering and Manufacturing before their implementation. If the mechanical properties of rough fo

17、rging stock are to be checked, testing shall be conducted on standard test pieces produced from forging stock which has been hot reduced and cooled under controlled conditions. The percentage reduction and cooling rate are to be established for each individual part. 4.2 SUBSEQUENT HEAT TREATMENT (WS

18、S-M1A340-A3 only) For certain applications, heat treatment, by hardening and tempering after forging, is permissible to achieve the mechanical properties listed above or as identified on the Engineering Drawing. These applications are all older designs utilizing the A3 grade, and permission for heat

19、 treatment shall be noted on the Engineering Drawing. New designs using this material shall develop the appropriate mechanical and microstructural requirements upon air cooling, without subsequent heat treatment. 4.3 ROUGH FORGING STOCK (A1, A2, A3) In order to meet the mechanical properties listed

20、previously, and to insure the use of good quality steel, rough forging stock should have the following properties. These items should be included in the Control Plan. 4.3.1 Prior Austenite Grain Size (ASTM E 112) Prior austenite grain size (McQuaid-Ehn test) should be sufficient to meet the ferritic

21、 grain size requirements of the finished forging as specified above. Generally, a prior austenite grain size of ASTM 5 or finer is recommended. 4.3.2 Non-metallic Inclusion Content (ASTM E 45 Method A/ASTM E 112) Because of the dynamic nature of parts produced to this specification, the microcleanli

22、ness of rough forging stock should be of high quality. The following are recommended maximum JK inclusion ratings. Because of the high sulfur contents of these grades, maximum ratings for sulfide inclusions are not recommended, though they should be rated and monitored. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFIC

Test bar location shall be indicated on the appropriate Engineering Drawing and

25、/or Engineering Specification, and reflected in the supplier Control Plan. The frequency of testing will be agreed upon between Product Engineering and the supplier, and clearly defined in the Control Plan. Axial fatigue cycling is conducted at 40 Hz for A1, A2 and A3, and at 50 Hz for A4. For the p

26、urposes of this specification, six specimens are to be machined into test bars and tested. Test specimens will have a circular cross-section with a continuous radius between ends. Test bar failure will be constituted by complete separation of the test bar into two pieces. Discrepancies from the valu

27、es listed above will be reported to the affected Product and Materials Engineering 4.5 INFORMATIVE MATERIAL PROPERTIES (TYPICAL) The following material properties are provided for information only, and are not required to be measured or verified prior to component production.
